Subject: ESV opinion poll |
Bible Note: Greetings again, Steve, I most certainly disagree with the conclusions that your friend has reached, and I believe that CBMW (and Randy Stinson) is correct in their evaluation of the TNIV. One thing that your friend must realize, is that Zondervan/IBS already tried this once (in 1997), and the reaction was not all that different then from what it is today. Also, there are at least 26 Bible scholars, including J.I. Packer (editor of the ESV) and James Dobson who oppose the publication of the TNIV and cannot recommend it for use by the church (http://www.baptistpress.com). So the criticism of the TNIV is not unfounded, nor does it only come from one direction. Blessings to you and your friend, Makarios |
